How to grow Orient Express x Nepal Jam
Taste
Seb's take
Orient Express F1 meets purple Nepal Jam F6 and turns blue and purple as flowering runs its course, a proper show for such an adaptable plant. Sweet, floral and earthy on the nose, the high is relaxed, focused and energetic in fair measure. Generous yields for a plant that asks so little in return.
Where it comes from
Ace Seeds pair their own Orient Express F1 with a purple Nepal Jam F6, the first an Asian landrace cross, the second a Himalayan line selected for its colour. The result is a balanced 50/50 hybrid that turns blue and purple towards the end of an intense flowering, a proper show for so adaptable a plant. Both parents carry mountain-and-jungle heritage, and the cross keeps the vigour of each. A characterful piece of landrace breeding, offered as regular seed for those who work with both sexes.
Nose & flavour
Sweet, floral and earthy, a rounded, natural nose in the landrace tradition, the sweetness lifting the earth beneath and the floral note giving it lift. It reads organic and unhurried rather than sharp or engineered, of a piece with the strain's heritage. An agreeable, characterful aroma that suits the patient grower who appreciates where it comes from.
The high
Relaxed, focused and energetic in fair measure, a balanced high true to the even genetic split, with enough lift to keep the mind engaged and enough calm to keep it comfortable. At 17 to 18% THC it is moderate in strength and even in temper, versatile company for most of a day. The sort of well-mannered, middle-ground effect that asks nothing of you and gives back steadily.
Growing it
An easy, highly adaptable grow that takes readily to indoor or outdoor rooms, the record vouches for lush growth and large, high-quality yields. Flowering runs 56 to 70 days, ending in a display of blue and purple as the plant colours up. Height and a yield figure both go unrecorded, so judge her by disposition: vigorous, forgiving, and generous. She takes average to high levels of feeding through the cycle. A rewarding plant that gives a fine visual show alongside the harvest.
